I have read hear and there about folks having trouble coating plaster so baits won't stick or come out chalky. So I gave this a shot for grinns and giggles . First I made a free hand plaster mold using a dremel tool. Then gave it 2 hrs in the hot sun sitting on the porch to be sure it aired and dried . Then I put it in the oven. heated it to 350 . Sprayed it with my powder air brush . Let it cool then back to the oven for 1 hr at 350 . I have poured a several of the bone white baits seems the powder is not going to discolor the baits . Just an experiment . May help someone View attachment 8

Toadfrog, simply amazing! Thinking out side the box pays off now and again huh? My hats off to ya.
Thanks guys . What really lead to this was if God forbid you damaged an aluminum mold leaving a scar in the cavity and no skill at machining could it be fixed this way. The plaster was a cheap way to test and I knew folks having a problem with there plaster molds . Maybe killed two birds with one stone . 100 baits later and no residue on the baits .
